Where do we start?
Listening is key! Your children started learning the skills
they need to learn to read from the moment you began talking to them.
Children need to be able to hear and
say sounds in order to be able to begin the process of reading and writing.
SLIDE 4
Listening
This is one of the hardest yet most important skills a child will learn. We teach children the kind of behaviour that a good listener shows, so that we know they are listening.
Sitting still Sitting quietly Looking at the person who’s talking Trying to remember what the speaker said Not interrupting
SLIDE 5
Speaking
Speaking with your child clearly is vital to their learning of phonics.
Ensure good eye contact – your child should be able to see your
lips make the sound.
Speak clearly taking care to annunciate the sounds in the words. Recasting - if your child says something inaccurately, repeat it
back to them with the correct pronunciation.
SLIDE 6
Teaching & Learning
Children learn in many different ways. In the classroom we use a range of teaching styles in order to address every child’s preferred learning style.
Learning through seeing. Learning through listening. Learning through doing.

Phonics: Letters and Sounds
Government scheme (2007) 6 phases taught daily from Nursery to Year 2. We use a number of other resources alongside this including Jolly Phonics.
Phase 1
Activities are divided into seven aspects, including
Environmental sounds
Instrumental sounds
Body percussion
Rhythm and rhyme
Alliteration
Voice sounds
Oral blending and segmenting
It is expected that these activities will be continuous throughout all phases
SLIDE 8
Phase 1 activities you could do at home
Discriminating sounds – games to play to develop these skills Listening walks Sound box Socks and shakers Matching sounds
SLIDE 9
Phase 1 activities you can do at home
Rhythm and Rhyme Silly soup Rhyming bingo Rhyming pairs Alliteration – I went to the supermarket…….. Alliteration story pictures i.e. Lenny the lion.
SLIDE 10
Phase 1 activities you can do at home
Voice sounds Making trumpets Recording sounds – picture matching. Watch my sounds – use of mirrors.
SLIDE 11
Phase 1 activities you can do at home
Oral blending using 1 syllable words at the end of a sentence to
encourage the children to blend it to find the meaning e.g. “Have you seen the c-a-t?”
I spy with 1 syllable objects. Find the picture.
SLIDE 12

Graphemes Phonemes Digraphs Trigraphs Segmenting/blending Tricky words CVC Common words (high frequency words)
SLIDE 13
Phase 2
Learning 19 letters of the alphabet and one sound for each. Blending sounds together to make words. Segmenting words into their separate sounds. Beginning to read simple captions.
Set 1: s, a, t, p Set 2: i, n, m, d Set 3: g, o, c, k Set 4: ck, e, u, r Set 5: h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss
Tricky words: No, I , the , to, go, into
Common words set 1.
SLIDE 14
Phase 2 activities you can do at home
I spy Supermarket spy Run/hop/skip to the sound Lucky dip Bath crayons Sound/word hopscotch
SLIDE 15
Phase 3
The remaining 7 letters of the alphabet, one sound for each and graphemes
such as ch, oo, th representing the remaining phonemes not covered by single letters. Set 6: j, v, w, x Set 7: y, z, zz, qu Consonant digraphs: ch, sh, th, ng Vowel digraphs & trigraphs: ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er
Tricky words which cannot be decoded are also introduced.
He, she, we , me, be, was, you, they, all, are, my, her
SLIDE 16
The English language is not easy!
We have 26 letters but 44 phonemes
in the spoken language.
There are a huge number of letter
combinations needed to make these 44 phonemes.

SLIDE 18
Reading
Picture books without words Books with CVC words Books with digraphs Books with tricky and high frequency words
The type of book your child brings home will change as your child gains confidence with their phonic knowledge. The books will support the teaching
- f reading in the classroom.
What should I do with the reading book at home?

SLIDE 20
What can you do to help?
Create an environment for reading and writing
Sadly only 50% of age 4 children are read to at home, 33% at age 7 and that then drops to 25%!!
It is important children read for pleasure not just to learn!
Don’t force a child to read, read to them, make up stories, let them look at books on their
- wn. Enrich their vocabulary, children need to hear and say words at least 6 times to learn
them.
Talk to each other, A LOT!
Go on listening walks.
Learn stories off by heart (look at the impact of Talk4Writing)
Be excellent role models. Demonstrate good reading and writing habits.
Always be positive about learning, telling children you don’t like something can have a negative impact on their enthusiasm to do it.
Constantly build confidence, make it fun and achievable.
Ensure you revisit known sounds and words when learning something new or tricky.
